 <h4> What is Biomine-DB?</h4>
<p class="lead" >Metazoans biomineralization is a process in which minerals form inside or outside the cells of a variety of organisms bestowing hard skeletons or structures on the organism. Mainly these minerals are calcium carbonates and calcium phosphates in vertebrates and invertebrates. While the majority of biominerals formed in bones, shells, skeletons and spicules are mostly formed of mineral crystals, all biominerals contain a various amounts of proteins giving these minerals extraordinary properties. The cell orchestrates the mineral formation process through the expressing and translocating of proteins that nucleates the crystals intracellular or extracellular, or inhibits mineral formation and crystal growth in unwanted sites. This can be achieved by means of multiple mechanisms. The aim of this database is to catalog these proteins, in order to enable scientists across multiple fields benefit from the properties of these proteins in multiple fields ranging from ocean acidification studies all the way to biomedical applications in bone diseases and material science.</p>
